Introduction

Mi madre adoptiva abusó de mí, y mi hermanastra era una perra despreciable que a menudo me acosaba y me incriminaba. Este lugar ya no era un hogar para mí; ¡se había convertido en una jaula, en un infierno viviente!
En ese momento, mis padres biológicos me encontraron y me rescataron del infierno. Al principio pensaba que eran muy pobres, ¡pero la realidad me dejó totalmente asombrada!
Mis padres biológicos resultaron ser multimillonarios y me adoraban inmensamente. Me convertí en princesa con una fortuna de miles de millones. No solo eso, sino que también había un director ejecutivo apuesto y adinerado que me perseguía locamente.

Chapter 1

Serenitia City, Mansión Smith, segundo piso.

Clara Smith, luciendo un sencillo vestido blanco de princesa, se miraba su bonito rostro en un espejo compacto que siempre llevaba consigo.

Apretaba su pañuelo con fuerza, rechinando los dientes, mirando con odio a Catherine Smith, la chica que había detestado desde siempre, y escupió: —¡Yo soy la verdadera hija de los Smith! ¡Tú solo eres una impostora!

El mes pasado, los Smith se hicieron un chequeo médico familiar completo y descubrieron que Catherine no era hija de Oliver Smith y Celeste Brown.

Clara levantó el informe de la prueba de paternidad con Celeste, sus ojos brillando de orgullo.

«Crecí con Catherine, así que ¿por qué soy solo la hija de la criada mientras ella es la hija de la familia Smith? ¡Ahora, las cosas están donde deben estar y todo es finalmente mío!» pensó Clara.

Detrás de Clara, Oliver y Celeste miraban a Catherine.

Al ver la mirada de Catherine, Celeste se secó lágrimas imaginarias y dijo: —Catherine, nadie esperaba que Clara fuera nuestra verdadera hija. Odiamos separarnos de ti, pero tenemos que devolverte. No puedo soportar verte separada de tus verdaderos padres. Es demasiado cruel.

Oliver, por otro lado, no tenía problema en criar a dos hijas.

Pero Celeste dijo que Clara había sido acosada por Catherine desde que eran niñas, así que no sería justo para Clara si seguían viviendo juntas.

En cuanto a Catherine, tan pronto como Oliver difundió la noticia, recibió una llamada del Condado Tranquilo buscando a su hija.

El acento era tan fuerte que Oliver apenas podía entender una palabra.

«¡Condado Tranquilo, una zona rural pobre donde la mayoría de la gente se dedica a la agricultura para subsistir!» pensó Oliver, y luego dijo: —Catherine, no te preocupes. Incluso si tus padres son agricultores, está bien. Cuando estaba al teléfono, escuché gallinas cacareando. Al menos cuando tengas hambre, aún podrás comer pollo asado.

Clara no pudo evitar reír a carcajadas.

«¡Qué lugar tan miserable! ¡Incluso crían gallinas!» pensó Clara.

—Oliver, no lo entiendes. En lugares tan pobres, las gallinas son más valiosas que las personas. No pueden simplemente comerlas cuando quieran.

El rostro de Clara estaba lleno de satisfacción.

Catherine ya los había descubierto.

«El supuesto chequeo médico familiar es solo porque he crecido, y el acuerdo matrimonial con la familia Johnson necesita ser resuelto. Los Johnson quieren comprometerse pronto, así que están apresurándose a echarme de la familia Smith para hacer espacio para la verdadera hija criada como hija de la criada.»

Catherine los miró con desdén, hablando sin ningún apego: —De todas formas, ya me iba a ir. No necesitan su actuación. Antes de irme, devuélvanme mi computadora.

Su expresión era tranquila, sus ojos brillaban, y cada movimiento destilaba una elegancia noble que Clara nunca podría imitar.

«¡Maldita sea! ¡Qué espectáculo!» pensó Clara, y luego dijo: —Catherine, tu computadora tiene cinco años. Ni siquiera la querría. ¿La perdiste por accidente?

Las sirvientas, cocineros y conductores detrás de ellos intervinieron.

—Sí, solo Catherine pensaría que una computadora de cinco años vale algo.

—Déjenlo ya. Catherine está a punto de volver al campo, donde probablemente la gente ni siquiera sabe lo que es una computadora —dijo Clara, su rostro lleno de orgullo.

Catherine, mirando a Clara con calma, sacó su teléfono y mostró un video de vigilancia claro.

Era Clara entrando a escondidas en la habitación de Catherine la noche anterior y llevándose su computadora. En el video, Clara sostenía la computadora, su rostro torcido de rabia. —¡¿Por qué a Elodie solo le importas tú?! ¡Yo soy la verdadera hija de los Smith!

Clara se quedó sin palabras. «¿Está loca Catherine? Instaló vigilancia en su propia habitación y hasta me atrapó maldiciendo a mi abuela, Elodie Smith, en cámara.»

Celeste jaló a Clara detrás de ella como si Catherine estuviera a punto de comérsela.

—Catherine, eres tan imprudente. Esta también es tu casa. ¿Cómo pudiste instalar vigilancia aquí? Tenemos secretos de negocios. ¿Qué pasa si se filtran? —Las palabras de Celeste hicieron que el rostro de Oliver se pusiera serio.

—Catherine, entrega tu teléfono. Necesito comprobar si tienes vigilancia en otros lugares.

Catherine se quedó sin palabras. «No me importa en absoluto el negocio de la familia Smith.»

Justo delante de Oliver, Catherine formateó su teléfono, borrando todos los archivos y restaurándolo a la configuración de fábrica.

Oliver se sintió un poco incómodo y se rió entre dientes: —No estaba dudando de ti.

Catherine respondió fríamente: —Cuida tus palabras. Ya no eres mi padre. Devuélveme mi computadora y me iré de aquí.

Oliver, luciendo avergonzado, se volvió hacia Clara y le pidió que encontrara la computadora de Catherine.

Clara murmuró: —Ni siquiera puedes dejar ir esta vieja computadora. El Condado Tranquilo puede que ni siquiera tenga acceso a internet.

«Esta computadora destartalada probablemente ni siquiera arranque ahora, pero Catherine, que está a punto de vivir una vida dura, la trata como oro,» pensó Clara.

Catherine le lanzó una mirada leve.

Esta computadora fue un regalo de Elodie. Ella misma la había modificado más tarde. Aunque era ciertamente valiosa, no era insustituible.

«Podría reconstruir la computadora, y también podría prescindir de estos llamados miembros de la familia. Pero esta computadora tiene un significado diferente para mí,» pensó Catherine.

Toda la familia Smith, de arriba a abajo, favorecía a Clara. Solo Elodie la había amado desde que era niña, dándole un calor que ella apreciaba para toda la vida.

Sin embargo, Elodie había fallecido no hace mucho, haciendo que la familia Smith fuera aún menos importante para ella.

Catherine se dio la vuelta y caminó hacia la puerta sin ninguna vacilación.

En ese momento, Celeste, que estaba a punto de decir algo sentimental, se sintió bastante avergonzada, así que dijo: —¿Qué clase de actitud es esa? Un mayor te está hablando amablemente, y actúas así. Tú y Clara crecieron juntas, pero tu carácter y moral son mundos aparte.

Por Oliver, Celeste también sabía que los padres biológicos de Catherine no estaban bien económicamente.

«Se decía que la familia es muy pobre, viviendo en una de las áreas más atrasadas y empobrecidas del país, donde el pueblo ni siquiera tiene un camino adecuado. Los padres de Catherine son agricultores, con hermanos mayores y abuelos también en mala salud. En una familia tan pobre y atrasada, Catherine seguramente tendría una vida difícil si va allí. ¡Podría tener que mantener a la familia desde joven, trabajando como una mula!» pensó Celeste.

Los años de sentir inferioridad bajo la sombra de Catherine se habían convertido en una fuerte confianza para Clara. Se levantó y siguió a Catherine: —Catherine, te acompañaré.

Oliver miró con desaprobación a Celeste.

—¡Basta! Catherine te cuidó a ti y a Elodie cuando estabas enferma.

Celeste lo miró con furia.

—¿Cuidar? Le proporcionamos buena comida y bebida. Debería saber cuál es su lugar. Solo temo que codicie el matrimonio de Clara. ¡Solo nuestra hija biológica se casaría con la familia Johnson!

«Lucas y la familia Smith tienen un acuerdo matrimonial, así que naturalmente debería ser para la verdadera hija de la familia Smith, no para Catherine. Además, Clara ha sido cercana a Lucas desde la infancia y tiene una buena relación con él. Comparada con Catherine, Clara, la verdadera hija, es realmente considerada y sensata.» La identidad de Clara finalmente fue restaurada, haciendo que Celeste se sintiera mucho mejor.

Pensando en su matrimonio, Clara también se mostró complaciente, apretando su pañuelo y sonriendo alegremente.

Clara había amado competir desde que era niña, especialmente disfrutando de tomar las cosas de Catherine, desde pequeños objetos como joyas, comida y ropa hasta el afecto de Oliver y Celeste.

Como no le importaba, Catherine nunca se lo tomó a pecho, solo pensando que Clara había sido una impostora desde la infancia y que la familia Smith no podía ver a las personas claramente.

En cuanto a Lucas Johnson, si Clara no lo hubiera mencionado, Catherine casi habría olvidado que existía.

—Clara, realmente quieres a todos los hombres, ¿no? —se burló Catherine.

After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms

From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.

On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...

Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.

George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.

His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"

Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.

When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.

"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"

George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"

"I'm afraid that's impossible."

Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

Born prematurely, Alpha Charles rejected him without hesitation as weak and undeserving of his very life. He is reminded daily of his father’s hatred for him paving the way for the rest of his family to become the same.
By adulthood, his father’s hatred and abuse towards him has spilled over into the rest of the pack making him the scapegoat for those with the sadistic need to see him suffer. The rest are simply too afraid to even look his way leaving him little in the way of friends or family to turn to.
Alpha Demetri Black is the leader of a sanctuary pack known as Crimson Dawn. It’s been years since a wolf has made their way to his pack via the warrior’s prospect program but that doesn’t mean he’s not looking for the tell tale signs of a wolf in need of help.
Malnourished and injured upon his arrival, Cole’s anxious and overly submissive demeanor lands him in the very situation he’s desperate to avoid, in the attention of an unknown alpha.
Yet somehow through the darkness of severe illness and injury he runs into the very person he’s been desperate to find since he turned eighteen, his Luna. His one way ticket out of the hell he’s been born into.

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.

“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*

“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”

Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.

“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”

**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.

Rage brewed as I elbowed open door.

Well, here goes everything.

He kills without mercy. She loves without reason. And nothing will stop her from having him.

For three years, Mafia leader Conner O’Neill has felt eyes on him. A phantom touch in the night. Perfume lingering on his pillows. Warm cookies in his oven. Enemies' heads delivered to his doorstep, gift-wrapped in bloodied silk. It isn’t fear that coils in his gut—it’s fascination. Someone is watching him. Someone who knows him. Someone who kills for him.

Her name is Sage—and she’s been his shadow since the night he unknowingly stole her heart with a bullet to another man’s brain. For her, it was love at first sight. Violent. Beautiful. Inevitable. Raised in darkness, owned by a monster, Sage was never meant to love. But Conner changed that. And she’s been his ever since, waiting for the day she can step out of the shadows and into his arms.

But the man who owns her doesn’t let go of his toys. And the man she loves doesn’t know she exists—yet.

She’s done watching. It’s time he learns the truth.

He belongs to her. And she’ll kill anyone who tries to take him away.
